Abstract
A receptacle for wired push-button switches used to actuate appliances adapted for inclusion in walls under construction, having an elongated tubular body; a removable plug disposed in one end of the body, the plug having an aperture adapted to accept wires threaded therethrough; a flange mounted on the end of the body opposite to the plugged end in circumscribing relation to the body; a mounting plate connected to the flange disposed substantially parallel to the axis of the body and offset therefrom whereby the receptacle serves as a temporary tie-off for wiring and as a permanent receptacle for a push-button switch proper.
Claims8
A receptacle for a switch comprising a tubular body for the extension of wires longitudinally therethrough and providing an end dimensioned to receive a switch frictionally fitted thereon, means borne by the tubular body for mounting said body in a wall with said end outwardly disposed, and a plug removably, frictionally fitted on said end of the body and having an aperture through which wires can be extended temporarily to hold the wires in place prior to receipt of a switch on said end.
A receptacle for inclusion in walls and the like during construction thereof to mount a switch and temporarily to secure wires thereto for said switch during construction, the receptacle comprising a tubular body having an end dimensioned releasably to receive a switch;
- securing means including a plug dimensioned to be received on said end of the body and having an aperture through which wires can temporarily be extended thereby to attach them to the plug;
- and mounting means connected to the body for attachment of the body to a wall.
A switch receptacle for inclusion in walls and the like during construction temporarily to secure electric wires for a switch thereto and ultimately to mount such a switch, the receptacle comprising an elongated tubular body adapted to receive such a switch in one end thereof and similarly adapted to receive wires connected to and extending from the switch through the body and emanating from the opposite end thereof;
- a disposable plug seated in said one end of the body to be discarded when the switch is installed, the plug having an aperture adapted to have wires extended therethrough awaiting installation of the switch;
- a flange mounted on the body at the end opposite said one end in which the plug is seated;
- and a plate mounted on the flange disposal parallel with the axis of the body but offset therefrom, the plate having a plurality of holes for nails whereby the receptacle is installed in a wall during construction thereof.
A combined switch receptacle and tie-off fixture comprising:
- A. an elongated, tubular, cylindrical body having an end adapted releasably to receive a switch in frictionally fitted relation therein;
- B. a substantially square flange circumscribing the body and integral therewith at the end thereof opposite to said one end;
- C. a mounting plate integral with the flange disposed in a plane substantially tangential to the body;
- D. a plug releasably fitted to said one end of the body having an aperture adapted temporarily to receive switch wires in threaded relation therethrough;
- and
- E. a flexible severable strap interconnecting the plug and the body.
